Conditional Statements

Conditional Statements

Very often when you write code, you want to perform different actions for different decisions. You can use conditional statements in your code to do this.

In JavaScript we have the following conditional statements:

if statement - use this statement if you want to execute some code only if a specified condition is true

if...else statement - use this statement if you want to execute some code if the condition is true and another code if the condition is false

if...else if....else statement - use this statement if you want to select one of many blocks of code to be executed

switch statement - use this statement if you want to select one of many blocks of code to be executed

If Statement

You should use the if statement if you want to execute some code only if a specified condition is true.

Syntax
